- I wasn't going to make a video about this... but after the Max Verstappen to Mercedes rumors got a lot bigger today, I had to stick my nose in. I don't think this is happening... and here's why...

Which reminds me that you owe us a naked Monaco marathon
Indeed.
That’s my job
Naked Run! Naked Run! Naked Run!.........awwwwww........arrested!
Ye
When is he doing it?
Netflix is foaming at the mouth rn, they’ve gotten a full season of DTS before two full race weekends
lmfao 🤣
They will not take this, but we know this is insane !!
*sees title, pretends to be shock*
Just to be able to watch the video.
@@W-meme yes
And now Ben Sulayem is being blasted for trying to overturn Alonso's penalty in Jeddah 2023.
Even in the FIA, El Padre is above all 😂
2024 as a whole will be the silliest season yet.
Trying to? He got it removed !!
They probably need this because the sport itself ain’t gonna provide the entertainment
AM Aramco podium in Saudi Arabia. 🤔
Sorry what has happened? I don't understand the impact of the +5sec towards Alonso now😂
@@nilcortines8375 It was a 5 seconds penalty for being out of his grid box at the start. When he came into the pit the rear jack touched the car before the penalty was served. That was a 10 second penalty, which took him out of the top 3, and was later dismissed allegedly at the urging of Sulayem.
Max signed a multi year contract stating he will most likely complete his career with RB. how's he going to get out of that? I think Jos should go home.
He has a clause in his contact that if Helmut leaves red bull, max can leave immediately
Well, it was the same for Hamilton contract-wise and there he is going to Ferrari, it really is unlikely that Max is actually going to Mercedes but at this point I'm not sure of anything lol
Rumor is that he has a clause in the contract that if Helmuth Marko leaves, he can also leave without any legal penalty. And since Max said many times last year when Marko was under fire that if Marko leaves he will also leave, people are making an argument that it's possible for this to be true (also fueled by the fact Marko allegedly said if Max wants to leave for Mercedes, he will not stay in his way)
Anyone can get out of any contract by just being subject to the associated fees and fines that come with it. Even people with contracts aren’t slaves, and these guys are millionaires. Hell, if I had a team and I could afford it, I’ll put up the funds for whatever penalty Max would incur if he’ll drive for me.
The best drivers always have an out clause that they can use if they wish so it could happen. I don't think it will, but with Jos I guess anything can happen. He's a little loopy IMO and starting too much drama. Max may need to have a talk with him
Ngl, Max going to the team that has been dragging him and his accomplishments through the mud for years, doesn't really fit with how Max does thing..
Please do the monaco thing in a funny costume. Would be hilarious
naked is naked
@@zaaieer nah m8. The residents of monaco don't need to be subjected to that
Seems like non rb fans are looking for anything to get them off the top spot.
Fernando 2025 WDC in the RB21 make it happen
Yes!
PLEASE THIS!! WE ALL NEED TO SEE THIS HAPPEN! LETS GO CHADLONSO❤
I want Danny Ric to be the next years champ. Then Leclerc for Ferrari. Alonso had his day!
@@declaredjeans7555Riccardo doesnt have it, and Ferrari cannot find a chassis setup to compliment the engine package. Max leaves RB after 2025 season with 5 championships,...and joins Mercedes and wins 3 more, making him the GREATEST DRIVER OF ALL TIME. He will have 8 championships, and at least 150 wins.
@@franklinniesterjr3812We have a very boring future ahead of us 🙄 might stop watching...
*Max is staying with Red Bull. Here is why:*
- Jos Verstappen had dinner with Toto Wolff. They know eachother for 25 years. It's normal that they would have conversations.
- Toto Wolff was asked about Lewis' seat going to Max. He said it's possible since it's open to everyone for now.
- Naturally Toto Wolff is gonna respond this because Max is the best driver on the current grid. Everyone wants him.
- Everyone on the grid is talking to eachother all the time. That doesn't mean they're really talking about a transfer.
- Max is very loyal to Red Bull and has a contract until the end of 2027. It's more likely he won't renew the contract to quit F1.
- Max has exit clauses. One of them is that he requires a competitive car. Mercedes doesn't fit that criteria.
- The RB20 is a competitive car and it's very likely the RB21 is also gonna be competitive. Only 2026 is a question mark for now.
- Not likely that key personnel like Newey leaves for Mercedes. They have exit clauses with other personnel.
- Red Bull did it's investigation on Christian Horner and concluded he isn't getting fired. So he's not getting fired anytime soon.
- There is no new investigation on Red Bull's end about the new proof. If there is any, they'll communicate that with everyone.
"-Jos Verstappen had dinner with Toto Wolff. They know eachother for 25 years. It's normal that they would have conversations."
All the more reason why Max would seek to move to Mercedes if he were thinking of leaving. Surely you're not naive enough to not realize that Toto is keeping his options open through his relationships with people like Jos, right?
"- Toto Wolff was asked about Lewis' seat going to Max. He said it's possible since it's open to everyone for now. "
Obvious statement is obvious. As if Toto wouldn't jump at the chance of signing Max.
"- Max is very loyal to Red Bull and has a contract until the end of 2027. It's more likely he won't renew the contract to quit F1."
I don't even know what this is supposed to imply. If Max wants to continue in F1, then it's not a given that he will want to stay with Red Bull through 2027. Especially with RBPT making their own engine for the 2026 season. Also, Max is loyal to Helmut and his dad, not Red Bull.
"- Max has exit clauses. One of them is that he requires a competitive car. Mercedes doesn't fit that criteria."
I have news for you: Red Bull will not have a competitive car in 2026, and Max knows this.
"- The RB20 is a competitive car and it's very likely the RB21 is also gonna be competitive. Only 2026 is a question mark for now."
"a question mark" is putting it lightly. Yes, the 2025 car will be great, I'm sure, but the new engine regs will likely put Mercedes at the top again.
"- Not likely that key personnel like Newey leaves for Mercedes. They have exit clauses with other personnel."
Like Horner, from what I hear. What makes you think that Horner is going to stick around after all of this bullshit?
"- Red Bull did it's investigation on Christian Horner and concluded he isn't getting fired. So he's not getting fired anytime soon."
That doesn't mean he doesn't see the writing on the wall, or an opportunity to move to another team. Consider if Max left and Horner stays: he will have 2025 with a superior car before years of losing with RBPT engines. Horner of all people would be smart enough to pivot to another team before getting stuck in that mess. I think it's likely both Max and Horner are gone by 2026.
- Carlos Sainz Sr also had talks with Horner & Marko about Red Bull's second seat. There are talks going between other drivers & other team bosses. It's very unlikely Max will go to Mercedes, especially when now Mercedes is in a downwards spiral.
- Toto's & Jos's dinner wasn't about Max but because they're friends.
- It's because of Max that Red Bull push themselves to deliver a superior car to him. Max won't leave them for a team that can't give him those guarantees. Max isn't stupid and won't change teams until after his contract ends. Even then like I mentioned he'll likely quit F1 than move to Mercedes or any other team.
- Mercedes will have a worse car in 2026 than Red Bull. 2022 is proof of that. Mercedes is in a downwards spiral meanwhile Red Bull has the best personnel. Red Bull has to deliver, meanwhile Mercedes are struggling to even get a car of 2 seasons ago right.
- Red Bull makes official statements, this was also given during the official F1 weekend warm up in Bahrain. Horner is cleared of charges against him and future evidence will maybe result in another investigation but getting fired is so unlikely.
- No key personnel from Red Bull will change teams. Don't be stupid.
I see holes in all of your arguments but just wanted to throw my two cents into to one in specific: The Adrian Newey/key RB personnel not leaving.
That same Adrian Newey left Williams in the late 90’s after disagreements on who should drive the next year. Newey left because Frank didn’t want to sign Damon Hill again, and the mighty engineer leaving marked the downfall of the team. Pair that with probably receiving a better pay and puff he’s gone. Don’t be so naive thinking people are loyal to a brand. People are loyal to a paycheck, and at most to personal dogma. If for whatever reason Mercedes snatches Max and offers Newey a better deal, you can be sure he will say adios to the bulls.
-merc is in the ground era not the ground effect era
@@espvpI believe Horner's only bargaining chip is Adrian Newey. If he decides to leave, it will game over for him.
Altho Newey maybe staying at Red Bull as he has a lot of freedom with regards to his side projects. But as you said, one may never know.
Why is no one mentioning the timing of the Big Ben news? It comes out he asked max to back Christian and the next day he’s being investigated for something from last year?
What are you talking about? I hadn’t heard of this
Thats actually an interesting point
Good point, and oddly suspicious.
@@b29ak2007 can someone explain to me what the Big Ben news is? I’m at work and I’m not even supposed to on my phone at all

Does Max really want Horner to leave or is it just his dad been an ass again.
This is what got me confused.
leaving a winning team hell no
As far as ACTUAL quotes go, his dad's an ass. And also denies saying the things he's quotes as staying
When it became clear Max didn’t need Jos’ help anymore he needed a new job & became the paddock shit stirrer. I give him similar levels of credibility as whatever Marko is running his mouth about this week 😂
It's his clown father
@@ShawnFXthat supposedly is sleeping with the same women Christian was
Verstappen to Merc, Sainz to replace Pérez and Alonso to take Verstappen‘s seat, while Red Bull poach Antonelli as a long-term prospect and stick him in at RB.
Aston to then dominate them all and Stroll becomes champion.
If we’re doing carnage silly-season in March, let’s go all in.
Edit: typo.
Sounds reasonable…
The Yuki/Ricciardo scuffles continue all season, Red Bull decides to pair Liam Lawson with Fernando as a mentorship role (just like with Lance at Aston)
Give a chance to Liam Lawson

its engagement at least...
That's not gonna happen, I'd bet you 50 dollars if this was in person.
Ooh I'd take that bet.. If it was just Max making decisions I would say he stays at Red Bull, but since Jos is involved, I feel like anything can happen especially for the 2026 season with new regulations
@@FP1Willget ready to run naked around Monaco 😂
lol moving to merc would be dumb.. when you are moving from the Main seat at RB
that ferrari prediction did come back to bite you in the ass huh
Moving to Merc would be a classic sell-high buy-low move for Max. He would bank and Merc is likely to swing back. Esp if they signed Max Verstappen. Itd be that whole era part 2.
Maybe. If they nail it.
Or her fucks him self out of the dream team for.... A chance at a dream team.
Stupid
I am inclined to agree. There are two manufacturers that I can see nailing the new engine regs: Mercedes and Audi (assuming they make it to 2026). Both of these companies REALLY know how to make good engines. That's not to say that Ferrari or Renault can't (although obviously the latter has struggled in recent years, which says a lot about RBPT's prospects), but Red Bull is going to be facing a MASSIVE uphill battle in 2026 building their own engines. Red Bull will be fine in 2025 but the future after that is a huge question mark and it might behoove Max to switch while the seat is available.
before Mercedes can win again they have to fully remove the DEI cancer Hamilton pushed on them
Can’t wait to see how well this prediction ages
Hold up, bro still needs to run naked around monaco
I guess somebody at red bull forgot to lock the basement.
This video about to age like Apple Spritz
damn, we don't even need racing to be entertained this year... not that F1 racing is entertaining in 2024
its a new story every day at this point...
alright calm down
I just posted a comment on another channel about this.
No driver in f1 would leave a winning car for a 3rd fastest (at best) eben if his worst enemy is in that team.
That’s ridiculous to think
*Emerson Fittipaldi enters the chat.
@@todayshorse oh really?? Fittipaldi’s move from Lotus in 1973 where he finished 2ND in the championship (his teammate 3rd) to McLaren in 1974 where he actually won the championship relates to this topic and compares well with Red Bull’s most dominant car in F1 history.
I think he left the chat pretty quickly mate
@@zvezdanjasovic3185 then he re-enters the chat by leaving Mclaren very late in 75 for his brothers team.
@@todayshorse he’s back again 😂 😂
Fair point but still Fittipaldi didn’t win the title in 75th and that move was super bizarre.
Imagine Max going to Alfa Tauri on his own choice 😂 or Lewis quitting Mercedes in 2020.
The point is you can find someone that did that but 99% of drivers that ever drove in F1 never left a winning car during that car era.
Miracle can happen, but it’s more likely that it won’t.
You’re completely right!! Hamilton will never leave Mercedes for Ferrari‼️ Absolute CRAZY talk!!
This guy knows no better than any of us - I'll be laughing when Max announces his Merc switch next week.
Saved your Monaco promise!! 😊
But when asked if he was looking to orchestrate a campaign to take Horner out of his position, he flatly denied it.
“That wouldn’t make sense. Why would I do that when Max is doing so well here?” he replied.
Crazy that people even consider Max would even entertain the thought of moving to ANY TEAMS before 2025 ends.
Honestly if max moved to Mercedes that’s easily top 2 most shocking moves in f1 history.
The easiest thing in the world is to just stop watching F1
Like I did in 2015 for 6 years
So, I'll just start watching again after 2030
it’s clear jos was trying to make RB react with that but it clearly didn’t work, jos needs to take a step back and stop with his awful attitude and that immature crap
Never leave a winning team... Only leave for the team rising past yours.
I thought I was in a meme review when i saw the number of people talking about this, like it's 100% gonna happen.
I'm glad to see that ain't completely the cause.
Come one Will, off to Monaco with you
Would not surprise me one bit if the simultaneous troubles for the Red Bull team principle and the FIA President both come from the same source, whose initials are Jos.
I enjoyed this script, it was appropriately sarcastic & witty. Made me chuckle. Much better than the fawning gossipy fangirling happening on other channels I’d usually had time for.
Hypothetically if he did go to Mercedes, which he won't, it would just cause a shit ton of drama because I'm pretty sure most of the Mercedes team doesn't like him after there rivalry. Netflix' drive to survive would love it though 😅
i think if marko leaves, max definitely leaves. however if horner is gone, and newey follows him, they may not have the best car and therefore he leaves. however i think everything being reconciled is more likely
"Alien driving style" bruh it's the exact same style as ricciardo. Both like a car with an unstable rear end, which the mclaren was anything but
You could say the same for Schumacher in his prime.
Those texts are the most white bread controversy I have ever seen
I doubt it will happen but many people dismissed the Hamilton to Ferrari rumors and now look what happened.
Hamilton was leaving a winning team
My game ( f1 23 ) says Verstappen will move to Mercedes
Jos Verstappen: the second worst helicopter dad on the grid
Honestly Jos is the sole reason why Red Bull will be dismantled, his little Dutch ass not liking Horner shouldn’t affect him, he’s way to involved with Max’s career, who mind you is going to turn 30 in 4 years, Jos either needs to see a therapist or he needs to jog on
His gravy train is hitched to Max. Has been since before Max was in F1.
I dont think he will leave redbull bur if he leaves I think he"ll go to mclaren, he can probably fix that team
I'd love that
With hamilton at ferrari, maclaren having lando and piastri, the only other option for a top team is merc. If for whatever reason max wants to leave redbull after 2024 his best option to be the top driver of a team in 2025 is at merc. But thats all assuming he leave redbull, which i doubt will happen unless some huge changes happen at redbull this season
Not sure I believe it. Max has been caught on camera saying he doesn't enjoy driving in F1 and would actually enjoy his career more in something like sports cars or prototypes.
My dad never had any say in my job circumstances. There again, I never made even close to 1K a year. I wonder if Jos is on the Max paylist, and for how many M/year it is. Imagine employing your dad, it’s not been done since Rimmer in BTL.
That’s where Stroll went wrong. He never employed his dad, so dad thought he could run the whole thing.
Now Will’s said it definitely wont happen, I’m off to put some money on it happening 😂
Sainz is the best Mercedes pick up
Well, if the races are going to be boring this year, at least we have some implosions to look at off the grid. Still sad we can't have the 22 close racing again but i just hope others will finally crack the code too and close the gap
Why do we speculate that Max Verstappen will move?... isn't it more likely that J. Verstappen wants to replace C. Horner, with someone he actually likes... a.k.a. Toto Wolff... TBH i don't think this is far fetched. Toto himself said that if Hamilton left the team he would probably leave/retire aswell.. maybe he will part mercedes and join RedBull.. what do you think?.
Although I do have my doubts something to consider is the PU deal with Ford that hangs in the balance. The engine has always been redbulls achilles heel. And no matter how much of a genius Adrien Newey is if another team makes a rocket engine max will be in the dust. Max knows Mercedes can deliver with an engine where Redbull is yet to be seen. That’s the part that makes me think it could happen. Who knows though. I guess I just wasted your time reading this
Realistically, his best bet to keep winning after 2026 is Merc. It will be interesting to see what will happen to Russel in that case, as I'm pretty sure Toto won't miss out on 'next Verstappen' Antonelli, as he did with original Max. That being said, there is the thing that Max was a Merc junior driver, so basically he would be coming home in a sense.
I agree with the fact that this is all a power move to put pressure on some Horner supporters to switch side. But my question is: What will happen if Red Bull call their bluff an do nothing ?
I think the idea of max at merc is great and I think people should keep an open eye to this as we never saw the Hamilton move coming
thank you, finally someone with common sense.
2 things to add
1 Max will never race for Mercedes and or Toto for what happened at Silverstone
2 Newey bought a sailboat and is going to sail around the world when the RB track car project is finished.
What happened is that Jos in typical dutch style told horner what he thought about the situation (and rightfully so)
That doesn’t sell so the media makes it a Jos verstappen coupe at RB.
Anyone who thinks Jos blows up the team when his kid is winning everything after 20 years total dedication is off the scale nuts.
Maybe this is because Ford Reasons. They dont seem too chuffed about all this. I guess maybe Redbull could go it alone on the engine side but is that what team verstappen thinks will keep them winning.
Just my opinion and thought but.....
Its not just J Verstappen that has issues with Horner currently. A Newey is rumoured to be unhappy with the situation according to a lot of reports.
For the past 4 months he has flip flopped on his opportunity to join Ferrari in 2025, early February he said he was going to stay loyal to Redbull but he had said that months earlier too only to then be considering the move to Ferrari when Hamilton revealed his move for 2025.
With discontent behind the scenes at Redbull, this and a large financial bonus/contract offer, could swing Newey away from RB especially if RB may struggle with the PU in future seasons.
Any evidence to substantiate these rumors?
Only what has been reported in multiple sports and news articles.
Just put Adrian Newey Ferrari in to a search engine and there's endless reports of him going to Ferrari and rejecting Ferrari even as recently as last week Ted Kravitz claiming he won't go as he has refused in the past.....
How many times has a driver said they are loyal to a team then jumped ship the following season......
I was just thinking about where Max would go after Red Bull. Mercedes came into mind. As I understand it, Jos has a big influence in Red Bull. Will he be given the same privileges in Mercedes? Are they going to let him boss Toto Wolff around? Are they going to tell George to play second fiddle to Max? Will they bend over backwards to accommodate Jos' wishes?
So... The burning question is are you going to do the naked lap of Monaco?
No
@@FP1Willweak
What was the point of the Red Bull powertrain division if they’re just going to Ford in 2026?
Are you excited about going to Monaco this year? I personally can't wait for that live stream you'll be giving us of your "track walk"
somewhat similar to what i was thinking. I am sure that the redbull dominance will not continue into 2026 and now with this Horner mess, I am not sure it will into 2025. tbh it could be better for Max to go to Mercedes at the end of 2025, but this if F1, who knows what could happen.
Yes I totally agree. Why would Max leave RB when they can provide him with the best team and car to be multiple world champion. Max would stay at RB until he's done with F1. And like Max always said, he feels at home at RB.
Just a guess but monaco is probably not a bad place to go to jail…🤷♂️
A couple of thoughts: If Horner leaves RB, then Newey will likely also leave. Then Ford will be left with a terrible package. Following that, Max will head for the hills, too. He can retire or take up a place in WEC or rallying.This will leave RB with essentially nothing. By that time, the junior RB team will be sold and Andretti will have an easy way in. Hamilton will be a Ferrari and that will amount to a lackluster swan song. (Think Schumacher at MB) MBS has his reputation tarnished and he will be keeping Massi company on a beach, somewhere. Liberty will have fourteen races in the US and only the (reinstated) Turkey and the Arabian races will remain on the calendar. F1 is certainly headed in a terrific direction.
I wouldnt be too surprised if Max left RBR. He's got the talent and drive to win with Mercedes, plus winning a WDC with a different manufacturer would add to his already impressive career. The engine regs for 2026 could well be a major reason, with Merc likely having the best engine.
I mean I guess anything is possible but I really don't see Max leaving Red Bull before his contract is up.
God, I hope you're Super Right. Max and RB TOP. Horner Awesome. God Save RB Family, Christian. Max, Please don't go🙏🙏
Jos sounds like he wants to burn some bridges like they're a 1994 driver's suit
I bet if Max steps in the current Mercedes car he still wins the championship. Easily and will dominate. All teams know this and will do anything to get him. His pure pace is 1 second on the rest on the field, too bad for us F1 fans.
nah man, F1 is all about the car. any good enough pilot stepping into that RB wins the championship. I bet even Yuki could get it done.
@@psygreg you new to F1? In my thirty years of following this sport I’ve never seen anything like Max. He’s something else, too bad you don’t get it. But I guess people also didn’t get Michael Jordan when he was starting raking up titles.
@@psygreg Nah, also on the point about putting max in the current Mercedes car though. But he would (again) beat his teammate silly. And the current RB is almost tailormade for verstappen so other drivers will have a harder time getting used to it.
@@joog79 that might be true but I bet there would be at least half the grid willing to give it a good shot knowing the pace in that car
@@psygreg Every driver will give their left nut to drive in a RB now. Even a (relative!) dullard as Perez moves ahead of the pack. So the car can drive most people to victory, true that. But everybody sees Verstappen pushing 105% out of any F1 car and that's nothing short of magic.
How long do you think it would take you to run it?
Well, money talks.......
everyone says horner did something bad and i still dont know wtf that is, cause no one spells it out.
Don't forget to film yourself when you are running the length of the Monaco track naked.
I think it’s fairly absurd as well. Max has no legitimate reason to leave. That being said, however, the real question is IF he did leave, and IF he brings Newey with him, then perhaps it’s not so far-fetched after all.
How long is that Monaco circuit anyway?
You may want to wear a helmet
You know, I was an instant fan. Finally, a Dutch driver that has a chance. I’m Dutch, after all.
But now? He doesn’t care, so why should I? He really doesn’t care, he could race anywhere, or take up knitting, gardening, stock broking, whatever. That takes the edge off.
It’s a fine line between racing for passion and racing for multi million profit, and I can’t quite distinguish between the two. Yet.
The only reason I could see for Max going to Merc is Jos.
As for Jos, honestly the dude is just a petty little guy that would ruin his son's career just to have a shot at claiming something for himself or other petty motives.
I hope for Max that he's doing his own, rather than listening to everything Jos says.
That said, I'd laugh my ass off if Red Bull takes the 2025 titles led by Günther Steiner bringing back Seb and taking in Carlos.
As for Monaco, how about doing it in a snail costume with alpine sponsors?
How much independence is he allowed now? Max is controlled by Daddy.
Big Benny didn't do anything about the coco pops so now he's on the receiving end of the leaks as well. The coco pops one was way more saucy to be honest, and even that wasn't much to go on.
Jos is trying to install a puppet until Max either gets to 8 WDC, or gets bored trying, at which point, he can take over as TP, with Jos prolonging his vicarious importance…
I’m don’t know how you can make an absolute claim right now. Redbull drama is becoming a tabloid mess and could run off partners and sponsors. Verstappen has said he doesn’t really care about records.
Redbull is dominating now, but there is some uncertainty with them making their own engines in 2026. Horner or Newey leaving would really hurt the team.
So when is the lap around Monaco?
So when's the video coming out for your trip to Monaco
It does seem implausible, but it sure would make on-track F1 interesting again. I hope it happens.
Hey Will, still waiting for the Monaco video to drop on your Only Fans!
The issue on my mind is that you have to 'streak' on the monza track. That is not the sight i want to see. Prefer guys in red or rb or Petronas on it. 😅😂.
refreshingly honest not click baitey and funny.thank you
why on earth would Max want to even be there? He would be forced into a PR dude, with a shady owner that clearly loves to manipulate people.
Right idea wrong move, it's really Horner out Jos in, would feed his (Jos) ego nicely!
So when is the marathon happening?
Hamilton had been complaining about his car since 2022, of course he was ready to move.
Jos is the reason why we can't have nice things. There is always a Jos coming around to any neighbourhood that has their ducks in a row, happy/ smiling citizen and no worries about anything.
Unless Max has inside information that Mercedes will put up a beast of a machine in 2026, there is no way he has any reason to leave.
After the contract amendments that prevents key personal to leave a race team with a driver, I doubt any driver will be able to pull a Schumacher ever again, especially with Ferrari, where egos are more important than success and they only talk team until they have a clear number 1 driver at which point they'll ditch that sentiment in a heartbeat.
Starting to think maybe Horner was inappropriate with Jos.
Max has been Red Bull's guy since he left karting. I think he'll finish out his 2028 contract and race for Red Bull in another series. By then, Red Bull Powertrains will be in full swing and he'll have loads of opportunities available.
You said it. 2026 reg is too close for changing for him.
And Verstappen ain't getting anywhere near a Mercedes seat while they have Andrea Kimi Antonelli waiting in the wings (and have ruled out a Williams drive for him).
What about Toto going to Redbull (replacing Horner)? Is that too crazy to consider?
Yes
